The history of anthropology and sociology has bestowed upon Marcel Mauss the position of a paradoxical canon. On the one hand, the centrality of his figure to the theoretical constitution and identity of the discipline is indisputable, making him one of our most cited, respected and romanticized authors. On the other hand, our understanding of Mauss may be excessively tied to the person of Émile Durkheim, his uncle and first mentor. In this article, starting from biographical works, published letters, syllabi and articles authored by Mauss, I revisit these major narratives in order to reflect on the formative years and trajectory of this intellectual beyond the figure of Durkheim and the Année Sociologique group. I address his relationship with Paul Fauconnet, Henri Hubert, Sylvain Lévi, Jean Jaurès and Alfred Espinas, as well as his engagement with the formation of larger lineages and networks. I also address controversies surrounding the scope of his work. I insist, finally, on the constitutive elements of a Mussian thought founded on his theoretical and political propositions, but also on his practice as a socialist teacher and militant.
